"This outcome is a direct result of the strength of the investigation by Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Detective Trey Gordy and Montgomery County Deputy Fire Marshal Trey Baxter," Chief Prosecutor Nancy Hebert said. "

According to the district attorney's office, Moss sexually abused a young family member from when she was 10 years old until she was 12 years old.

"Sadly, in 2015, the child had previously been sexually abused by another family member at the age of 8 and testified in court against this other family member," the DA's office reported. "The child was 12 years old before she made an outcry about the abuse by Moss."

The child stated that one incident occurred when she was picked up early from school by Moss to take the child to the dentist. Through his investigation, Gordy was able to locate school records showing Moss had signed the child out of school for a doctor appointment on the same day as the dentist appointment.

"The child also described several sex acts occurring at various locations around Montgomery County, including at an abandoned house," the DA's Office said. "Gordy drove the child around to try and locate the various sites."

After locating the abandoned house, Gordy called out for crime scene Investigator Mark Wright with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Investigations (CSI) to process the scene for physical and biological evidence.

Early the next morning, Gordy was notified by Baxter that the abandoned house had been burned to the ground, but, not before Gordy and Wright had processed the house for evidence.

"Baxter suspected arson. Along with Gordy, they began a joint investigation to determine if Moss was responsible for the burning of the abandoned house in an effort to destroy evidence relating to the sexual abuse," Hebert said.

Gordy interviewed Moss, who confessed to the sexual abuse and directed Gordy to the various locations where the assaults had occurred including the abandoned house. He also admitted to burning the house down.

Baxter was able to obtain video of Moss purchasing the gas can used to burn down the abandoned house.

"Faced with the strength of the evidence, Moss opted to plead rather than going to trial," the DA's office reported.
